Sepia Scenes is a new meme hosted by Mary/the Teach and it offers the opportunity to share with others beautiful scenes in sepia tones. For my first posting within this theme I thought I would highlight scenes seen from my window.
This is the time of year when the drop in tempera -tures and changing weather conditions often finds me looking out the window checking on the weather and the beautiful fall foliage before venturing out. This morning when I first looked out the temperature was at 0 C degrees and it was raining.
Looking out my kitchen window I see our tall, full sized statue is still looking good in her yearly Hallowe'en role doubling as a witch.
From another window I see our garden cherubs are still resting on the side rails of our small bridge which crosses a sometimes water filled pretend creek. They are often kept company in the nightime hours by White-tailed Deer and Raccoons.
And lastly, another view from another window tells me that our optimistic, green, ceramic cat is still casting a hopeful eye upwards toward the bird feeder above.
The temperatures were high and warm one day last week in Montreal and the sunset at the end of day was very beautiful.
Perhaps these two benches had been placed together, facing each other, in preparation for removing them to winter storage, but I like think they had been staged as an invitation for friends to sit together companionably while having a pleasant chat before continuing on with their walk in the park.
At Valois Park, Vaudreuil-Dorien, Quebec.
Our older home has three brick chimneys sitting on top of its gabled roof but two of them have been blocked, even before we bought the house, as they are no longer used. When our home was first built over a century ago, it would have been heated by wood but today we heat with oil.
Wood heating though has not gone out of fashion and homes on three sides of us still use wood as a source of heat as well as oil. It is not an uncommon sight to see a woodpile in a dooryard waiting to be used during the cold winter months to come.
or treat', and many Halloween decorations tend to be a bit on the scary side. This witch actually spends most of the year tucked away in a trunk and only makes an annual appearance each year during the Halloween season. With her hair flying in the wind, she rides her fabric broom over the colourful fall fabric hills beneath her feet.
